Thomas B. Young III: Do Republicans have a conscience?

Health care for the poor in our country is neither a right nor a privilege, it is a moral obligation of the haves to the have-nots. If it takes a progressive income tax to make this possible then we should have one.

How can Southern governors, in Republican-controlled states with overwhelmingly poor black people, let politics override human compassion to the point of refusing federal Medicaid money to provide health care to their poor? How can they sleep at night? If there is a hell is that where they are bound?

The pope recently said even atheists can go to heaven if they follow their conscience. Do these Republican governors even have one?
